Elaborate voicemail hoax
In season five—the Archer Vice season—“Smuggler’s Blues” shows Malory fall prey (again) to another of Archer’s signature voicemail pranks. She actually calls Ray’s phone, and looks incredibly worried when Ray picks up, only to start yelling and get cut off amid a hail of gunfire. Then when the punch line is revealed, all thanks to an elaborate Sterling scheme he details in the next scene, the groaning noise of disgust she makes is epic. Jessica Walter’s delivery is everything, and she doesn’t even need words to get her point across.
